Step 2: Review hardware and system configuration
The Product supports installation on either physical hardware or hypervisors which both requires:
Support of 64 bit architecture
Must be Intel® CPU's with hyper threading
The product supports the following hypervisors:
VMWare ESX - v6.0, v6.5, v6.7, v7.0 with Intel processors
VMWare Workstation/Player - v14, v15, v16 with Intel processors
VMware Fusion - v11.0, v11.5, v12.x PureApp (only on Intel Processors) on Mac with Intel processors
AWS EC2 Instance (Virtual Machine) with Intel processors (using Non-Appliance installation only)
Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine with Intel processors (using Non-Appliance installation only)
PureApp with Intel processors - no pattern yet available, can be provided only as an imported OVA.Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine
Limited support for Hyper-V
Non Appliance installations will require a user pre installed operating system:
CentOS 7.7-7.9 - x86-64 bit only on supported HW or Hypervisor as stated above
RHEL 7.7-7.9, 8.3-8.6 - x86-64 bit only on supported HW or Hypervisor as stated above
Installation for Docker Container with Light Developer Edition has been tested only on CentOS 7.8 with Docker CE version 18.09.2 and Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.3 LTS with Docker CE version 18.09.2.
Docker hosted on Windows is not supported.
The minimum resource allocation for the Developer Edition installation is as follows:
2 virtual processors (vCPU)
Minimum of 3 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)
Disk space of 25GB, with only 1 disk
The minimum resource allocation for the Docker Container for Light Developer Edition installation is as follows:
At least 2GB of disk space that can grow up to 4GB.
At least 3GB of free memory (RAM).
The minimum resource allocation for Standard Edition:
4 virtual processors (vCPU)
18 GB RAM
Disk space of 180 GB (thick provisioned) configured as follows:
Appliance package - Storage space must be divide divided to 3 disks:
Operating System - 40GB
Install - 40GB
Data - 100GB
Non Appliance package - follow the Appliance configuration for performance.
The installation process will not verify the usage of 3 Disks but performance issues can not be addressed if this configuration is not applied.
